From a rough idea to a
printable, production-ready form.
I design the part of the product people see, hold and live with: the exterior, its character and how it behaves. You bring the engineering layout. I give it an identity.
Industrial design
Exterior form, proportions, CMF and a product language that is unmistakably yours.
Product character
Motion, gestures and sound direction for products that should feel alive, like robots and smart devices.
CAD & prototyping
Final 3D CAD, native and STEP files, plus 3D-printed form-and-feel models.
Research & direction
Product requirements, users and positioning. Mood board and form board to lock the visual language.
Sketching
Rough explorations of form, proportion and character to open up the possibilities.
Four concepts
Four distinct, rendered design concepts. You pick one or two to take forward.
Variations & refinement
Detail variations of the chosen concept, one final direction, and a revision round included.
CAD & finalisation
3D CAD built around your engineering envelope. Native and STEP files, with 3D-print support.
Working together
- Typical product: about 2 weeks, around 40 hours of design
- Fixed project fee, quoted after a short brief
- Milestone payments (50/50 or 40/20/40)
- Full ownership of final designs on completion
- Branding, logo and packaging support on request
Not in scope (happy to coordinate)
- Mechanical engineering & validation
- Electronics, PCB & firmware
- Tooling, DFM & manufacturing drawings
- Safety & regulatory certification

Tell me what you’re building, your timeline and where you are now (a sketch, a CAD layout or just an idea). I usually reply within a day.
